Slacker headtube..

The Northern Monkey

This may be fairly straight forward, but my brain isn't working...

If I change my shock bushings to offset bushings which will cause a slacker head angle, will the frame feel any taller/lower up front?

Assuming i'm using the same setup as I currently have.

Very slightly lower I would have thought.

hmmm, yeah that was my initial feeling.

may have to wait for longer forks then, front end it a tad low as it is tbh

really? if the shock i2i is shorter, would that not mean having the effect of a bit more sag in the rear suss, so the front end will feel higher in relation to the saddle height (wont be a lot mind) wouldnt have thought the distance from your bars to the ground would change?

The front end will be slightly lower in absolute terms though.
